Reblog if you think there need to be MORE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRANSLATIONS OF EARLY MEDIEVAL SYRIAC CHRONICLES
"Another Christian berserker is mentioned in this saga, when the hero Josaphat is described as "hinn vngi berserkr guds"(God's young berserker). The Saga is a Christianized version of the story of the Buddha, so he cannot be a warrior of Odinn, but he is still God's berserkr."
From Roderick Thomas Duncan Dale's thesis "Berserkirs: A re-examination of the thesis in literature in life."
Barlaam ok Josaphat is a retelling of the story of the Buddha as a Christian convert, transmitted from India through Manichean, Arabic, Georgian, Greek, and Latin sources before ending up as a fucking berserker in a 13th century Norwegian version. He's a saint in both the Orthodox and Catholic churches, and there's also Hebrew and Yiddish versions of the story derived from Arab sources floating around.
So yeah. Siddhartha Gautama is a Catholic and Orthodox saint and also a berserker.
the conversation I'd like to have on immigration is on the lines of "why is the world so fucked that taking massive risks to come over to the global north in order to work as a cleaner or tesco security guard such an appealing prospect, and how can we change this? There's no law of physics that says, say, the ivory coast should be poorer than britain; how do we work together to make these people as wealthy as we are? What kind of international collaboration is possible?" but well the politics of my country is such that i actually have to focus on points like "immigrants are people who just want to get on with their lives", "no you piece of shit we can't shoot the small boats", "the NHS, agriculture, hospitality, and so on, would absolutely collapse within a week if you carried out mass deportations", "this is all a rather blatant moral panic whipped up by the same people who have been slicing up our state capacity for decades in order to feed it to their mates", etc

This is how the world should be ❤️
At no point did I predict what happened next in this video.
Deeply irked that spotify discover playlist has turned up an artist I think I actually like, for once. Feels wrong somehow.
Admittedly part of this is that I've clearly gotten algorithmically silod at some point and get a steady drip of the most insufferably twee the-real-punk-rock-is-being-soft-and-vulnerable queer indie/folk music so a decent dance song about a lesbian bragging about being a homewrecker is just a very fun and refreshing change of pace.
What's the lesbian homewrecker song?
There you go.
...what does and doesn't get demonetized as 'adult content' on youtube makes less sense to me every day.

If anyone wants to know what a leopard seal sounds like 🦷🩸
Leopard Seals are what happens when god needs a lizard and all he has is a mammal
I'd recommend turning the sound on. The seal is not screaming. It's not very loud at all, actually, but the noise it's making is Much Worse.
the featherless emus are like easily in the top 10 animals on the planet right now
creatures have peaked with this thing

This is a really good representation of one of the reasons I prefer to write sci fi that's on the harder side! If I wanted to argue against somebody who thinks commitment to scientific realism is some stick in the mud no fun allowed creativity-limiting thing, my argument might involve showing them this. It really is my impression that, ironically, the greater freedom from realism constraints enabled by a "softer" approach tends to result in more convergence. I think it's because paying attention to realism tends to interrupt a process related to "AI inbreeding" (disclaimer: I base this on some descriptions of the phenomenon I've read on Tumblr) and the thing Leviathan-Supersystem calls "fictionbrain." Speculative fiction writers tend to also be appreciators of other people's speculative fiction, and that means often one of the main inputs to their imagination is other people's fiction. As a result, if you remove other constraints, the result tends to be strong convergence on a model mostly made of genre conventions and tropes and stuff people have seen other people do before. Your fantasy has Orcs because fantasy usually has Orcs. Your sci fi has space fighters and something kinda-sorta like WWII mixed battleship/aircraft carrier naval warfare but IN SPACE cause Star Wars and Wing Commander and Battlestar Galactica and so on did that. Your spacecraft have their decks parallel to their long axis which is parallel to their direction of movement like a boat cause that's how it works in Star Trek and Star Wars and a bunch of other sci fi. Your dinosaurs look kinda like dragons cause that's how they look in old movies from the middle twentieth century and those dinosaur toys you played with as a kid and the Jurassic Park movies. It's hard to not do that cause of course your imagination is fundamentally downstream from your direct sensory experiences and the ideas you've been exposed to.
Caring about scientific realism and sociological realism gets you paying attention to a new, different sets of ideas. It gets you learning about how motion in free fall and vacuum works instead of just rolling with assumption that spacecraft will move like boats or airplanes. It gets you learning about how acceleration gravity and centrifugal gravity works instead of just rolling with the idea that spaceships have arbitrary "artificial gravity." It gets you thinking about how multiple sapient species living in close proximity to each other might have shaped each other's evolution instead of just going "Well, there's Orcs, and there's Elves, and there's Dwarves..." And so on.
Visiting my sister who adopted a beagle three days ago and I am reminded of the degree to which just walling a dog is a cheat code to have as many people as you'd ever want walk up and start conversations with you instead.

There is no reason whatever, in this case, to believe that the skull represents the victim of a cannibalistic feast by some hypothetical more advanced type of man.
